Let's face it: beef prices are exorbitantly high. I'm being priced out of beef at an alarming rate. And the more I read about it, the more the "Big 4" are to blame: 4 processing plants that control, basically, the whole beef supply. Because of that, I've stopped buying it. Until something is changed, I… Continue reading Rustic Chickpea Stew

Basic Hummus
Sometimes people need to know the absolute basics of a recipe. How to bake a chicken. How to boil an egg. How to crisp up bacon. I get lost in making unique and extravagant recipes sometimes. I'm not an amateur home cook anymore, but there are plenty of people out there who need those basic… Continue reading Basic Hummus
Honey Roasted Chickpea Salad
Chilly mornings have replaced the steaming heat here in Oklahoma. It's the best time of year when it comes to the weather, and yet it won't last long.

It's hard breaking out of that mindset that you HAVE to have a protein and it HAS to be meat. It's… Continue reading General Tso’s Chickpeas and Vegetables

I've been getting creative in the kitchen trying to come up with ways to use the little pasta pearls. I've done main dishes, side dishes, and now salads. I refuse to buy any other… Continue reading Mediterranean Couscous Salad
Middle Eastern Buddha Bowl
My mom just left a few days ago after being here for almost two weeks (hence my not-so-glorious absence from my blog). We had a lot of fun, and got a lot accomplished (re: my wedding dress) while she was down here. There was also a lot of shopping to be had. Since she now… Continue reading Middle Eastern Buddha Bowl
